Question

cost of Apo
$( \frac{5}{6} ) \: and \: ( \frac{6}{7} ) \: \: which \: one \: is \: greater$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

fraction (5/6) = 0.8333

whereas fraction (6/7)= 0.857

thus fraction 6/7 is greater

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Method - 1: By cross multiplication

$\frac{5}{6} \: and \: \frac{6}{7}$

By cross multiplying,

L. H. S = 5 x 7 = 35

R. H. S = 6 x 6 = 36

Therefore,

$\frac{6}{7} \: is \: greater$

Method 2: By LCM

Taking LCM of 6 and 7

LCM of 6 and 7 =42

$= \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{7}{7} = \frac{35}{42} \: and \: \frac{6}{7} \times \frac{6}{6} = \frac{36}{42}$

36>35

Hence,

$\frac{6}{7} \: is \: greater$
